In the home draw with Shenhua, Yu Genwei ushered in the 100th milestone of his coaching career, becoming the second Tianjin coach in team history to reach this milestone.
Compared with last season, Yu Genwei has encountered more pressure this season, once four games without a win, three consecutive defeats, but the away victory over the Henan team allowed the Jinmen Tigers to return to the winning track, and Yu Genwei also ushered in the 100-game milestone with a more relaxed mood.
On October 26, 2014, Alihan led the team to a 5-2 away victory over Shenhua, ushering in a 100-game milestone.
After 10 years, Yu Genwei also ushered in a landmark 100 games against Shenhua, and Jinmen Tigers fans played a huge TIFO before the game to pay tribute to Yu Genwei.
It is worth mentioning that when he was a player, Yu Genwei never defeated Shenhua and never broke through the Shenhua goal. In his coaching career, Yu Genwei has won 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses against Shenhua 6 times. Since losing 0-1 away on August 12, 2021, Yu Genwei has been unbeaten against Shenhua in the last 4 times, with 2 wins and 2 draws.
However, the last time the Jinmen Tigers beat Shenhua at home in Tianjin was in 2017, and since the 2015 season, the Jinmen Tigers have only won 1 win, drawn 3 and lost 3 of their 7 home games against Shenhua.
In order to contain Shenhua's attack, Yu Genwei adopted conservative tactics, and although he didn't have his first shot on goal until the 79th minute, the Jinmen Tiger also kept a clean sheet against Shenhua, ending Shenhua's record of 17 consecutive games across the season. At the same time, Yu Genwei also extended his unbeaten record against Shenhua to 5 games.
Before the match against Shenhua, Yu Genwei said, "The team has encountered difficulties in recent times, and it is these loyal fans who have given us more strength and supported us to get out of the predicament. As for whether I can coach 200 or 300 games, it depends on my performance, my ability, and whether everyone is willing to let me spend more time in this position. ”
